Chapter Text
The sounds of screams and cries could be heard, something you weren't unfamiliar with.
You neared and saw a figure come running towards you.
"Run!"
"Why? What's going-"
"Forget about us and leave!"
"But-"
"Go now! And Y/n please keep-"
You sensed someone coming near and those words were all you heard before you dashed off to the forest, out of instinct.
It's not like hearing that person's last words would have really mattered to you much anyway.

You woke up feeling a bit restless.
'Another dream? Keeps happening more and more lately.'
You've been having the same dream over and over again, wondering why it keeps happening.
In your dream you always end up in a village but none of their faces could be seen along with not being able to hear any of their voices, but towards the end of your dream you would always see the village engulfed in flames...and the sound of blood curtly screams.
You shrugged it off as you rubbed your eyes to wake yourself up.
"About...time you...woke up." A voice in front of your bed said.
You sat up, saw a dark-haired male in dark clothing and a skull mask.
"Yeah and I thought I told you to stop doing that, Feitan."
"Doing..what?"
"Always sitting in front of my bed waiting for me to get up, it's kinda creepy you know."
"I wouldn't have to...if you knew how to be on time."
"I'm always on time, what do you mean?"
"Oh I know what this is about...you must like me and just want to be by my side. Well, I guess I could try falling in love with you...over time of course." You jokingly say.
"Quit...with the...jokes, it's...not funny."
"Hurry up. The boss...wants to...talk with everyone." Feitan says before getting up from the chair he's sitting in.
"Oh~, wonder what it's about." You say as you get out of your bed.
"A job. What else...could it be?" Feitan says before heading towards your door.
"Blunt as always, but that's one of the many reasons I love you Feitan." You say giving a wink.
"Quit it." He says before leaving the room.
"But I'm not joking...I mean it, full heartily~,"

After a few minutes, you got ready and went down the old building's staircase to the main room you'd all been meeting up in.
When you got down you saw that the only ones there were Feitan, Phinks, Shizuku, Machi, Pakunoda, Nobunaga, Franklin, Shalnark, Kurotopi, and of course the boss...Chrollo Lucilfer.
"Oh hey Y/n, you made it." Shalnark greeted.
"Yep, of course, I would be. On the contrary to what a certain someone keeps saying." You say giving Feitan a glance.
"Feitan what'd you say to her now?" Nobunaga asks.
"Why...do you think...it's me?"
"Who else does Y/n talk about?"
"..."
"Anyway, good morning Chrollo, hope you're doing well so far." You say as you go over to greet the man.
"Hey, how many times have I told you, that's not how you greet the boss Y/n." Nobunaga nags.
"Huh? But Chrollo doesn't mind, right?" You look over to Chrollo.
"I don't mind at all, it's actually quite refreshing." He says.
"See, I told you it was fine!"
"What are you a child?" Machi asks.
"Don't go saying that Machi."
"You guys seem to be having some fun," Uvogin says as he walks into the room.
"Uvo!" You yell rushing over to hug him.
"Uvo, you're late," Nobunaga says.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," Uvo says.
"Hey don't go brushing it off, these meetings are important."
Everyone ignores Nobunaga as he continues to nag at Uvogin. Soon the rest of the members start to gather in the same room one by one.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting," Chrollo says as he stands from his spot.
The room falls with silence, as a way of respect to Chrollo.
"Now then our next job will be to steal from Yorknew's annual auction."
"What things you wanna steal?"
"Jewelry?"
"Books?"
"Ancient scripts?" Everyone asks at once as you stand by waiting for Chrollo's answer.
"All of it." He says
That statement silences everyone.
"Hell yeah!" Uvo yells breaking that silence.
You smile to yourself.
"Makes sense, we are thieves after all," Shalnark says.
"We'll discuss further details as the auction date nears," Chrollo says.
"For now you may spend your leisure time doing as you please."
While everyone was paying attention to Chrollo, you looked over at Hisoka who didn't seem too interested. You noticed that he appears to be texting someone.
"Now then you're all dismissed," Chrollo says as he stands and leaves.
Everyone nods as they all leave one by one, everyone except Hisoka.
You took this chance to try to approach him.
"Hey Hisoka, were you texting someone during the meeting?" You ask.
"Why do you ask?" Hisoka asks.
'Deflecting with a question, he's hiding something for sure'
"Out of curiosity, you also should know it's pretty rude to not pay attention when someone is talking...especially if it's the boss who's talking."
"My how scary, and here I thought you didn't care for the rules."
"Oh I care, they are important to keeping the troupe together after all. So tell me who you were texting."
"I'd rather not."
"Hisoka tell me or I'll start thinking your conspiring against the boss."
"Then let's settle this with a coin toss, the rules state if a topic is disagreed on it's to be decided by a coin toss."
"Fine then, if it lands on my side you tell me what you're hiding, if, on yours, you don't have to say a single word."
Hisoka pulls a coin out and tosses it up in the air.
"I chose tails." You say.
"Then I'll take heads," Hisoka says.
The coin falls on the floor and...lands on heads.
"Seems you're off the hook for now, but I'll be keeping my eye on you." You say before leaving.
"I look forward to it~"
As you walk to your room, you see Feitan waiting outside.
"Oh my this is rare, do you need something Feitan?" You ask all cheery.
"What...were you...and Hisoka...talking about?"
"Oh that, it was nothing really, just sharing some thoughts about what Chrollo said." You lie.
"Is that so?" Feitan asks.
"Of course, why would I lie?"
'Sorry Feitan, but if my suspensions are right then...Hisoka could be a problem for the troupe. For now, I'll keep quiet and investigate him myself'
"Anyway is that all you want? Or maybe you just wanted to see me so badly 'cuz you love me?"
"Don't be...ridiculous."
"Aw...you're so mean Feitan." You say pouting.
"Maybe if I was put in a real situation you would find that you actually have some sort of feelings for me."
"Impossible," Feitan says.
"You're...right as always." You say slightly hesitating.
You expected that response but it still hurt to hear it.
"Yeah...I'll be...going now," Feitan says as he leaves.
"Alright, I'll see you later then Feitan darling!"
You let out a small sigh as soon as Feitan was out of sight.
"Geez, I guess getting through to Feitan will be harder than expected...but that's fine as long as I make him fall for me in the end!" You yell.
